2 Corinthians 5:7 says “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”  There is a practical way to live this out – literally.  If we walk by faith and not by sight, maybe one way to apply this verse is to close your eyes.  When times arrive that you are struggling or you need guidance or you just need to feel God, close your eyes literally.  Then you cannot see, you can only focus on Jesus. With your eyes closed, use that time to pray, and fight to keep your focus on Jesus.  Do not let your mind wander and if it does, that is okay – just return your focus back to Jesus as soon as you realize you have wandered.  The goal is to turn off your human senses that are connected to the world: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smells to fully connect to Him.  Walk by faith my friend, not by sight.
